Ask Husi: hot dogs for life?
I remember reading a story, perhaps years ago, which claimed that a guy lived to be pretty old. In his entire life he had eaten pretty much only hot dogs. One problem with this story: I can't find any reference to the story anywhere and I have pretty strong google-fu so I'm kind of baffled as to why I can't find this story regardless of if it's true or false.
Do any of you out there in the audience know of this story, or better yet have better google-fu skills than I and can find a reference to it?
Inside: zombies!
I know it's considered by some to be in bad taste to republish here what was written elsewhere, but fuck the rules. I mean it, SUCKS TO YOUR ASS-MAR AND FUCK THE RULES!
Short for zombie comics: zombics!
Based on a glowing recommendation from Cory Doctorow of boingboing I picked up the first volume of The Walking Dead today from Amazon. I figured what the heck, it's only $10 thanks to the free shipping I get with Amazon Prime. It was kind of uncharacteristic of me since I'm not a big comic fan and I don't really trust Doctorow's judgement all that much, but c'mon... zombie comics are a golden concept.
Right from the introduction I knew this was pretty much as perfect as they come:
Give me "Dawn of the Dead" over "Return of the Living Dead" any day. To me zombie movies are thought provoking, dramatic fiction, on par with any Oscar worthy garbage that's rolled out year after year. Movies that make you question the fabric of society are what I like. And in GOOD zombie movies... you get that by the truckload.
[...]
For me the worst part of every zombie movie is the end. I always want to know what happens next. Even when all the characters die in the end... I just want it to keep going.
I hate to sound like the dude's agent... but if that sounds good to you then you owe it to yourself to get The Walking Dead Vol 1: Days Gone Bye. Character driven zombie epic comics -- good to the last drop!
